Happy new year in igbo language

A wonderful request!

In Igbo, the language spoken by the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria, the phrase for "Happy New Year" is:

"Ogeadi na afọ úkwù" (pronounced oh-geh-dee-nah ah-foh oo-kwooh)

Breakdown:

• "Ogeadi" means "new year"
• "na" is a preposition meaning "of" or "in"
• "afọ" means "year"
• "úkwù" is a suffix that adds a sense of celebration or festivity

So, "Ogeadi na afọ úkwù" literally means "In the new year, there is celebration!"

Alternatively, you can also use:

• "Ogeadi na-eme" (pronounced oh-geh-dee-nah ah-meh) which means "Happy New Year" in a more casual tone.
• "Ihe ọma dị na afọ úkwù" (pronounced ee-heh oh-mah dee-nah ah-foh oo-kwooh) which means "Good things are in the new year".

I hope this helps you wish your Igbo friends and family a happy and prosperous new year!
